Lexmark C530 is highly recommended for small office or home users that require high volume printing. At an affordable price, you can acquire a work group-friendly printer with network connectivity option, built-in duplexer and robustly packed with other helpful features. Monochrome documents come out fast in a 24 pages per minute speed while color printing churns out up to 22 pages per minute. Text quality output is good for a laser printer. Texts come out readable up to 6 point size. Some dithering can be expected but it can excellently handle illustrations, maps, charts and other graphics. This printer supports Mac, Windows and Linux operating systems. Standard processor is fast at 375 MHz and 128 MB of RAM is good enough even for high performance operations. Additional drawers can be purchased to increase maximum capacity of up to 800 sheets. As part of the “green machine” series, Lexmark C530 reduces wastes that harm the environment.

Package is shipped with a photoconductor that can last up to 20,000 pages and an ink toner cartridge that can print up to 1500 pages. A re-filled toner cartridge model # C5240KH (label 1) can manage the same amount of prints without the pain of spending so much on replacement toner cartridges. Peachtree ink may not stock the cheapest toner cartridges in the world but they are definitely a huge saving over the Lexmark branded toner refill cartridge and also they work perfectly in this Optra C530.
